  1. Here’s the max depth of the past 13 or so winters. Can really see the hot streak we had from 2007-2011
  2. In Dec 2012 the depth got to 11", deepest last year was 9" in early February
  3. 13” snow depth in Madison this morning. Deepest snow cover since GHD1
  4. big flakes here. looks like the last push before the mixed precipitation starts to move in
  5. Accumulating pretty nicely out there. About 2". Roads vary between snow covered and slushy/wet. Looks like a couple more hours before warmer air moves in and rates drop off and we switch to drizzle/rain
  6. In addition we have a chance at a record low temp tomorrow morning. The record low for the 14th is a relatively mild -13 which is only 2 degrees below the point forecast.
  7. While it looks certain to go below 0 tonight in Madison, with no other below 0 temps on the horizon and time running out quickly for them to occur there is another record we could be trying to attain or tie, least number of below zero days in a year. Currently the record holder is 1877-78 with 1 but I am always skeptical of temperature records back then since measurements were only taken 3 times a day. A more modern record is 1997-98 with 2 days. Unfortunately it looks like it will go below 0 before midnight, which means we will get hit with 2 days below 0, even though it's occurring for only 1 night.
  8. arctic front blasting through here now and blowing all the snow around. got about an inch beforehand
  9. 18z NAMs trending downward with snow here. First and final call of 1.2" (with some bonus borderline brief whiteout conditions with the arctic front)
  10. 12z GFS with a slight trend downward in precip/snowfall amounts. It looks like the initial WAA snow will miss us in Wisconsin so we'll have to rely on the wrap around deformation snow as the northern stream wave phases
  11. 6” here with a little bit more back end snow to come
  12. Madison hasn't had a temp below 0 yet. The lowest so far is 0 set on January 19th. The standing record for warmest minimum temp of a winter so far is -4 set in 1930-31. Will be interesting to see how low we can go at the end of the week. Current point has -1.
  13. Snow back building of the snow band here with some healthy sized flakes
  14. Heavy rates to wind this one up but only about a half hour left of the snow
  15. 4.5” reported by family members about 15 miles NW of Madison. Around 3.5” here but tough to measure accurately in the city
  16. light snow started here around 4:30. picking up in intensity with nice flakes. visibility below a mile
  17. NAM and HRRR rending upward again. Getting a little bit hyped for this event
  18. Things trending upward here. Think there will be some good rates from about 6 am through 2 pm
  19. 12z NAMs bring higher totals a bit further south into WI. Looking solid for 3-5" here
  20. No in fact people have tried to argue the opposite, that solar minimums lead to more high latitude blocking and therefore PV disruptions.
  21. What have your snow out days been the last few springs? Also I wonder how much liquid content is in that snow
  22. still looking solid for 3-6" here. Only the NAM is not playing ball and even that is trending upwards. 12z Canadian shows the heaviest band heading into N Illinois. Gives Cyclone and Hawkeye a good hit
  23. GFS with a very solid hit for N IA through S WI. Even Rockford gets 3-4” on this run. But it’s the GFS 72 hours out so who knows
  24. 12z Euro trending southward. Brings 3-5" snow totals to S Wisconsin
